Wednesday Night Social Rides – Starting April 8th

Are you looking for a fun way to spend a Wednesday night?

Join some cycling friends from Team Evesham and Aistriu to ride some bikes and have some food afterwards.

This is a social ride geared towards fostering beginner riders and showing the fun of cycling and group cycling.  We will ride for 30-40 minutes then meet back at the start for refreshments and to talk Cycling Stories and share camaraderie!  This is not a pace /ride group but a slower social ride.

Starting Wednesday April 8th at 6:00 then moving to 6:30 as daylight allows.  This event will continue throughout summer; join us for some cycling fun with friends.

Beginner riders welcome and encouraged, this ride is for you!

Join trained ride leaders and experienced cyclists to learn some of the techniques about group cycling and see how fun it can be.

As the season progresses we will add in a C pace ride for those ready to move up.

What to Bring

  1. Bring a bike: hybrid, road bike, beach cruiser, BMX bike, or even a mountain bike.  We will be going slow so anything will work. If you have more than one option, keep in mind that smoother tires are better for the road.

  2. Bring a helmet. Helmets are mandatory- we will have a few extras but can not guarantee one.

  3. Comfortable clothes

  4. An open mind and a great smile

6 Ways to Strength Train at Home While Doing Chores

MAKE LAUNDRY, VACUUMING, AND GROCERY SHOPPING A LITTLE MORE FUN.

When you ask cyclists what they do to get stronger on the bike, one of the most common answers is: “Ride more.” However, as most of us know by now, what you do off the bike with strength training is just as important as the number of miles you rack up in the saddle.

“Anybody who is serious about their performance strength trains,” says Mike Boyle, C.S.C.S., cofounder of Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning. “For the average cyclist, I’d recommend strength training twice a week.”

That said, if the gym is unattractive or just plain overwhelming to you, you’re not alone. Even some pros don’t love it . . .

To read the 6 tips and opinions of expert cyclists, go to the link below:

10 Expert-Backed Tips for Winter Cycling

DON’T HANG UP YOUR BIKE WHEN THE FIRST SNOWFLAKES FALL—HERE’S HOW TO RIDE RIGHT THIS WINTER

Too many of us hang up our bikes at the first sign of snowflakes, but if you do, you’re missing out on a bunch of benefits from riding through the winter. As your body struggles to stay warm in the cold, you not only burn more calories, but your body also learns to use oxygen much more efficiently, according to research from Northern Arizona University. Plus, riding around (safely) in the snow can be incredibly fun. Below are 10 things you should—and shouldn’t—do to make the most of your winter cycling season.

Ride All the Time But Can’t Lose Weight? These 6 Tips Can Help

RIDING A LOT CAN MAKE YOU FIT, BUT YOU NEED A SPECIFIC STRATEGY IF YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY LOSE FAT.

Struggling with your weight loss goals? You are not alone. The blunt truth is that though daily exercise like cycling will improve your cardiovascular health, lift your mood, and boost your fitness, you can easily pedal an hour a day and not lose a pound. Much to your dismay, you might even gain a few. If you’re left wondering, Why can’t I lose weight, we’ve got some answers for you.

“Just adding exercise does not equal automatic weight loss,” explains Leslie Bonci, R.D., sports nutritionist at Pittsburgh-based Active Eating Advice and co-author of Bike Your Butt Off. “You need to be sure you’re not unconsciously eating more, not overcompensating with treats and sweets, and that you’re exercising in a way that encourages fat loss and builds lean muscle tissue.”

Don’t get discouraged (or hang up your wheels!). It’s not as complicated as it sounds. With the right adjustments to your riding (and fueling) routine, you can pedal off unwanted weight. Here’s what you need to know.

Just go to the link below:

What a hot weekend we had, but we were able to enjoy some cycling safely!

This past weekend was a scorcher!  Temperatures above 100 degrees on both days made us consider if it was safe to cycle in this weather!  As a team we opted to cancel the Hill Ride due to the extreme conditions and shorten our Sunday routes a bit.  We decided to ride Saturday and Sunday local with some extreme caution and additional rest stops.  Our ride leaders did an amazing job at getting all the cyclists back safely.  In addition to our normal Sunday Ride, Nick Liermann and a crew from the Foster 100 joined us for one of their training rides.  These brave soles train in honor of Captain Erick Foster that sacrificed his life while serving our country in Operation Iraqi Freedom.  In honor of Captain Foster, Team Foster raises money to partner service dogs with veterans suffering from combat related disabilities.  The Foster 100 is one of Team Evesham’s supported charity rides again for the 2019 cycling season.  If you have not signed up for the Foster 100 yet, hurry, it will sell out very soon!

 

This past Wednesday Lisa Sleeper lead a group of 10 B+ riders on a 25-mile ride Through Mt Laurel and Southampton NJ.  This was the inaugural ride for them, and we hope to continue for as long as daylight cooperates.

 

This Saturday is the Spellbound Century put on by Jorge Carmona and TNT Cycling.  This event always proves to be excellent and sells out.  The event has grown to 1000 cyclists this year.  Jorge has some great local farms for rest stops that are always fully stocked with refreshments!  If you are riding the Spellbound Century this year wear your Team Evesham Kit in support of our team.

We hope to see you out cycling this weekend!

To infinity and beyond!

Best wishes for the New year to all of our teammates and their families. 2018 was our 10th year as an organized team and we celebrated all year with tons of events. This past year we held seminars with Rothman, hosted the Welcome Back Ride, started our No Excuse ride for beginners, staged our first Grill and Chill event and so many other great happenings.
We continued our charity fundraising and eclipsed several milestones too. Again we were one of the top ten fundrasing teams in the Cancer Bridge to the Beach Ride.  Plus we partnered with the Foster 100, and doubled the number of riders in the event. Team Evesham represented more than 20% of the total riders in this ride for veterans.
 
This year also saw numerous rides being cancelled. 2018 was the wettest year ever in New Jersey with over 64 inches of rain in New Jersey. According to our colleague: Storm Chaser Sandy, this is 20 inches above a normal year. 

When 8 people joined together to form the team in 2008 no one envisioned that we would have more than 400 members and that we would contribute more than $1.7 million to charities. 
Come help us celebrate so many great things at the upcoming after holiday party on Friday, January 11. Sign up here to attend and remember this is a BYOB event so feel free to bring your favorite adult drinks.

At Team Evesham we are always trying to make our group even better. On behalf of all of our teammates we thank Kevin Comber, Melissa Harris, and Dave Bennis for their many years of service on our Board of Directors.   We are also welcoming 4 new Board Members for 2019. They are:
Leslie Breslau
Ross Polinow
Geri Phares
Peter D’Antonio

Lastly we have even more items in store for 2019 so keep watching for all of the announcements.
See you all at the Party on January 11, the first 75 to register will get special early bird gift.
